Chapter 106: First Murder
Hey Read New BooK In Profile.
Shi Lin and his companions, each holding a knife in one hand and a torch in the other, emerged from the camp and headed towards the location where the Gu worms had launched their attack.
A few minutes later, Shi Lin saw the brutal scene in front of him.
A dozen adults lay on the ground, groaning in pain. Their bodies were covered in bloody wounds, and the blood they had spilled had stained the ground red. Each of them was seriously injured.
Just then, Shi Lin suddenly noticed that one of these people was the waiter who had served him yesterday.
It seems that it was indeed because I flaunted my money that these people coveted it. I guess I'll have to be more careful with my spending in the future.
"Oh? Long time no see." Shi Lin walked up to the waiter and said with a smile.
However, in the waiter's eyes, Shi Lin was a smiling devil.
"Who exactly are you people?" The waiter asked fearfully, shrinking back.
With so many of us, we hadn't even gotten close to their camp before we were all rendered unable to fight. That's terrifying!
"Tell me, what are you doing here... robbing us?" Shi Lin asked the waiter.
"No...no...that's not it!" The waiter stammered nervously, his mind blank, not even knowing how to lie anymore.
"Are there any Soul Masters among the people who came here?" Shi Lin narrowed his eyes and asked the waiter with a sense of oppression.
"No, there are no Soul Masters. If there were Soul Masters, why would anyone rob us?" The waiter was so nervous that he stammered out his purpose.
It seems the waiter's fear was genuine; since there was no Soul Master present, things were simple.
"Old Ma, Old Oscar, have you two ever killed anyone?" Shi Lin suddenly turned his gaze to Ma Hongjun and Oscar.
"No...no, that's not it." Ma Hongjun and Oscar exchanged a glance and said nervously.
They were both intelligent people, and after hearing Shi Lin's words, they immediately realized that Shi Lin wanted them to see blood.
"No Soul Master can avoid bloodshed. Today is the perfect opportunity. These people came to kill us, so it's only right that they were killed in return," Shi Lin said with a smile to the two people in front of him.
Originally, only these bandits were afraid of Shi Lin, but now two more people are afraid of him.
Although Ma Hongjun and Oscar are exceptionally talented, they are still young, so Flanders and the others treat them like precious flowers and take good care of them. Neither of them has ever seen blood.
Shi Lin wasn't in a hurry. No matter how smart these two were, they were still just children who needed mental preparation. Precisely because they were smart, Shi Lin believed they would make the right decision.
Shi Lin waved his hand and led Shi An to tie up the seriously injured people. These people were still bleeding when they went outside, and it was unknown whether they could hold on until Ma Hongjun and Oscar made up their minds.
Although these people were frightened after hearing Shi Lin's words, their injuries prevented them from moving, so they could only let Shi Lin tie them up.
Shi Lin and Shi An led these people to a mound and placed them side by side to one side.
Then, they stuck torches into the ground, and the place was brightly lit for a moment.
"Old Ma, Old Oscar, let's get started. There are twelve people here. The four of us will each kill three." Shi Lin waved to Ma Hongjun and Oscar and said.
Ma Hongjun and Oscar looked rather pale.
Judging from the looks of it, they were probably a little nervous because it was their first time killing someone.
Shi Lin had killed two assassins from the Xiao family with his father in a secret room last time, so although he was a little nervous about killing, he wasn't that afraid.
Shi Lin took out two steel knives and threw them to Ma Hongjun and Oscar.
Then, Shi Lin gripped the knife in his hand, and suddenly struck, the long blade instantly slicing through the neck of a robber, blood spurting out.
Everyone except Shi An was stunned.
Ma Hongjun and Oscar were so nervous that they were trembling.
However, Ma Hongjun quickly realized that if he wanted to become a Soul Master, he would inevitably have to shed blood in the future.
It's better to see blood sooner than later!
So, driven by malice, Ma Hongjun picked up a steel knife from the ground and slashed a man's neck. Blood gushed out and sprayed all over Ma Hongjun's face.
Seeing Ma Hongjun's frenzied state, Oscar picked up a steel knife and slashed someone's neck, his blood covering Oscar's face as well.
"Wow!"
Ma Hongjun and Oscar exchanged a glance, then simultaneously opened their mouths and vomited up the dinner they had just eaten.
Seeing the two people's reactions, Shi Lin smiled and shook his head.
"It's alright, you'll be fine once you throw it up," Shi Lin said with a smile.
"Brother An, let's clean up the battlefield." Shi Lin called to Shi An, and then the two of them killed all the remaining people together.
Although Shi Lin knew these people probably weren't very wealthy, he still looted the corpses and found two gold soul coins, eight silver soul coins, and a bunch of bronze soul coins.
Both the gold and silver soul coins were given away by myself, but somehow they ended up back in my pocket.
Shi An's killing methods were more skillful than Shi Lin's, and his expression remained unchanged, suggesting that he had killed before.
Then, Shi Lin picked up a shovel and threw it to Shi An.
Shi An nodded.
Then the two men started digging and burying the people.
Shi Lin wasn't being kind-hearted; he simply didn't want to provoke Ma Hongjun and Oscar any further. After all, making them bleed today had already been quite a shock for them, and Shi Lin didn't want to provoke them any more, as that could easily breed them into perverts.
After doing all that, Shi Lin took Ma Hongjun and Oscar back to their rooms, filled two buckets with water, and placed them in the rooms so they could wash the blood off their bodies.
"Brother An, I'll keep watch tonight. You can drive tomorrow. These two kids probably won't be able to recover for a while," Shi Lin said to Shi An with a smile.
"Young Master, I have no problem keeping watch and driving the carriage at night," Shi An said earnestly to Shi Lin.
"It's okay, I'll sleep during the day tomorrow. Go back and get some rest." Shi Lin patted Shi An's arm and said with a smile.
"Alright then, young master." Seeing Shi Lin's resolute expression, Shi An could only nod and then went back to his room to rest.
Shi Lin went outside these rooms, sat down in a chair, and began to rearrange the Gu worms while keeping watch with his eyes lowered.
...
The next morning, just as dawn broke, Ma Hongjun and Oscar emerged from their respective rooms, both sporting dark circles under their eyes.
There was no blood on either of them, so they must have already washed up.
"You two haven't slept all night?" Shi Lin asked the two with a smile.
The two nodded in tacit agreement.
Shi Lin just smiled and shook his head, then took out some rice from his soul tool and prepared to cook porridge.
Shi An and Lin Yu also came out of their rooms shortly afterward.
After everyone gathered, the porridge was ready.
"Have something to eat," Shi Lin said to Ma Hongjun and Oscar.
The two of them vomited up their dinner last night and didn't sleep all night. They were hungry at this time, although they had no appetite because of the psychological trauma left by the murder.
However, Ma Hongjun and Oscar nodded, took the bowls from Shi Lin, and began to drink the porridge.
"You two can get in the car and start sleeping in a bit. Once you wake up, everything will be over." After watching the two finish their porridge, Shi Lin waved his hand, and a cloud of incense dissipated. Before the two could react, they collapsed to the ground.
"Brother An, let's lift them onto the carriage and let them get some rest," Shi Lin said to Shi An.
Then, Shi An and Shi Lin carried Ma Hongjun and Oscar into the car.
Lin Yu packed up her things, and Shi Lin packed up all the small wooden houses and put them into his personal space.
